OBJECTIVES
• To understand the concepts of basis and dimension in vector spaces.
• To introduce the effective mathematical tools for the solutions of partial differential
equations that model physical processes;
• To introduce Fourier series analysis which is central to many applications in engineering
apart from its use in solving boundary value problems;
